<p>I would say your biggest weakness is your sat score… you might want to consider taking it again. But then again, since you are hispanic I feel like Upenn would use that in your favor.</p>
<p>You need to chang those sat scors. And you need to be from the heart on ur essay, that is ,after all what makes u deffrent. Ur scors are almost like a prerequerment realy, b/c all applicnts have around the same acadamic record. So good luck
ps if u apply Ed and have a good essay or one of ur parents as graduates of Penn, u have a better chance!
By the way don’t call it UPenn on your essay it’s Penn</p>
<p>Oh start asap on ur essay.

<p>^That’s for last year’s.</p>
<p>The most recent question is on their site or should have been emailed to you if you subscribed for information. Supplement should be officially released in the next couple of days…</p>
<p>ECs and SAT scores aren’t amazing, but you still have a shot.</p>
<p>Also, if you’re low income you could probably get a fee waiver for the commonapp.</p>
